Four Heatons

The Four Heatons are four neighbourhoods, Heaton Chapel, Heaton Mersey, Heaton Moor and Heaton Norris,[1] which form a suburban area of Stockport in North West England. North of the River Mersey, they were historically in Lancashire.[1]

It is a commuter zone, with greenbelt and a conservation area,[1] and is coterminous with the SK4 postcode district.[2]

The opening of railway stations, at Heaton Norris in 1840 and Heaton Chapel in 1853,[3] resulted in the suburbanisation of the Four Heatons.

The area is home to various retailers, as well as bars, delis, independent music venues and a privately owned single-screen cinema.[1][4][5]
